    2. Private Academy Tutors

    3. As you know, youth unemployment is really problem in Korea society. Government keep trying to solve this problem but it's not easy thing to solve in quick period. So, most college graduates are working at private academies. Although star lecturers can earn many money per year but almost lecturers can't like that. They work with very low wage and poor working condition, even they can't get retirement pension when they get out of their place. I agree that private academy can reduce unemployment rate but it is not good phenomenon for society. It is like part time job. There are a lot of private academies in Korea so they need many lecturers. It is really easy to get a job there. I think college graduates haven't paid their expensive tuition fees during 4years for working at private academy. It can't be your job for entire life. I agree Korea is so developed so almost seats in companies are already taken. Our student need to have their special abilities and government need to help.

    -------------------------------------------------

    5. According to the Korea Educational Development Institute, most college graduates who studied humanities, natural science, education, art and sports ended up working as lecturers and tutors at private academies last year. The portion of students who became private academy teachers was 11.8 percent among those who studied humanities and social studies, 6.1 percent for natural science and engineering majors, 16.6 percent among arts and sports majors, and 17.4 percent among those who studied education. Since many elementary students take several classes at a hagwon per week in Korea, private academies have become the biggest employer of college graduates, who suffer from high unemployment.

    2. For weary test-takers, plastic surgery deals

    3. teens are sensitive to appearance. many media show as if beautiful appearance is right. that attracts teens eye. so, teens who see the media choose the plastic surgery. teens are lovely themselves.
    but our society force teens to do plastic surgery. we need to think of those problems seriously before we make a decision.
    but, if it helps us to have more positive attitude and confidence in life compared to ourselves before the surgery, we should consider plastic surgery positively. however, I object the idea of praising outward appearance only.
    I believe a person is truly beautiful when the person has inside beauty.

    ---------------------------------------------------------
    5. Hey students, now that the grueling College Scholastic Ability Test is over, how about treating yourself and your mom to some discounted facial improvements?

    Some plastic surgery hospitals are offering students reduced rates for plastic surgery for the eyes and nose, and free Botox injections for mothers.

    A plastic surgery hospital in Apgujeong, Gangnam, Seoul, posted a notice on Nov. 9 on its homepage, saying: “We are giving a present to mothers who had a tough time with their children for the Collage Scholastic Ability Test - if a student has two plastic surgeries for eyes and nose at the same time, we will provide a free Botox shot for the mother’s wrinkles near the eyes or brow.”

    As a reward for students who have been stuck for several years spending long hours in classrooms to prepare for the test, it has become a custom for some Korean parents to reward their children with plastic surgery. Most students, observers said, want to have double eyelid surgery, which makes eyes look bigger and clearer - especially popular with girls - and some of them have their noses reshaped to make them look more like Westerners.

    2.Endangered passive smokers

    3.There has been many wasys to be harmful for human being. But the best known truth can be passive smoke. Recently, this problem is rising up as a new problem.

    --------------------------
    Smokers damage the health of their children – even if dad presses itself into the kitchen or smokes with opened window

    Even if parents smoke only in the kitchen, health following for the children can have

    More than 50 per cent of the children from smoker budget become obviously to passive smokers. Even if parents smoke only in the kitchen or on the balcony, health following for the children can have, such a researcher team of the University of Greifswald.

    The smoke pollution for children is highest if their parents smoke direct in the living room. Even with a smoker area in the dwelling one endangers its children. Because straight infants are most of all, where their parents are, explain study chief Sabina Ulbricht. Even after night air dangerous arrears therefore stay. In addition it comes that many parents underestimate the consequences of smoking in the car.

    The researcher team examined Kotinin over 900 children from smoker budget (at least one parents smoker) on the nicotine dismantling product. Only 43 per cent of the urine samples were without passive smoke pollution, with 34,3 per cent of the children found one a small and with 22,7 per cent a strong quantity of Kotinin, so the researchers.

    Values such as waiters in smoker bar
    Starting from a value of 2,6 nano-gram per millilitre urine one speaks of the passive smoking. During the investigations children had even values of over 40 nano-gram per millilitre. These values are with those of waiters in smoker bar to compare (45 ng/ml).

    2. Working teens uninformed on rights

    3. Recently, we can always see teens finding part-time jobs. And we can easily find them in workplace such as convenient store. They have many reasons to find job. To many employers, it's easy to employ teenagers to save money. Teens can't require their own right, not only because they don't know right for themselves, but also because employer don't respect their work. People have to protect their right regardless of age. It's proper to keep teen's right by educating them to recognize their right. If they know exactly their right, they don't have to worry about injustice.

    -----------------------------------------------

    5. The government has stepped up its efforts to inform teenagers about their rights as workers at a time when relevant labor standards are often violated by employers, the Ministry of Employment and Labor said Thursday.

    Interest in part-time jobs is soaring among teens, according to a report commissioned by the ministry. The survey of 3,202 teenagers aged 15 through 18 showed that 90.8 percent showed interest in taking a part-time job if the right opportunity came along.

    But teens on the job hunt would be wise to know their rights before taking up employment, the ministry said.

    “The report identified that in many workplaces, labor standards were not observed, including minimum wage and respecting working hours for teens,” a ministry spokesperson said.

    Some 79 percent of those surveyed admitted knowing little about the laws and regulations pertaining to them as workers.

    Among those with work experience, 1.2 percent reported experiencing sexual assault or harassment at the workplace. Among them, only two reported the incident to the police or a labor association.

    Regarding workplace safety, only 57 percent of those injured on the job claimed for their injury, while 30 percent were compensated. Two percent were either fired or quit due to being hurt.

    Only 14.5 percent knew those under 15 years old must obtain a special certificate to be hired, and less than half knew about regulations related to night and weekend shifts.

    The statistics have prompted the ministry to bolster its educational outreach program for youth, dubbed “alja, alja.”

    2. N.K. artillery strikes S. Korean island

    3. There were no English news. In Korean news, Schools educated, are educaind, will educate Student about Security risk. Korea didn't finish war. Just ceasefire. I feel gloomy. They are just children. But now they will apprehend war...

    Pray for the repose of the deceased

    -----------------------------------------------

    North Korea fired dozens of artillery shells at the South’s Yeonpyeong Island near the border, killing at least two South Korean soldiers and injuring 16 others, the Joint Chiefs of Staff said Tuesday.

    In response, the South Korean military immediately fired back 80 shells with its K9 self-propelled howitzers toward the North’s western artillery bases in Gaemeori and Mudo, it said.

    “As the North fired coastal artillery shells at around 2:34 p.m. into waters off the Yeonpyeong Island as well as on the island, we immediately fired back in full accordance with combat rules,” said Lee Hong-kee, chief director for joint operations at the JCS, in a press briefing.

    “This provocation is a premeditated, intentional illegal attack in violation of the U.N. Convention, the Armistice Agreement and the inter-Korean non-aggression accord. It is also an inhumane atrocity, in which it indiscriminately fired shells into unarmed civilian residential areas.”

    Lee added, “We have strengthened our surveillance and monitoring to keep watch on North Korean military activities through close cooperation with the United States. We are closely cooperating to draw up joint response directions.”

    As of 9:30 p.m., two South Korean marine soldiers were killed while six others were seriously injured. Ten other soldiers and three civilians on the border island of some 2,000 residents suffered minor injuries, according to the JCS.

    The North began firing from 2:34 p.m. to 2:55 p.m. and again from 3:11 p.m. until 3:42 p.m. Some of the shells fell on Yeonpyeong, causing several forest fires and setting ablaze some of the houses.

    The South began firing back at 2:47 p.m.

    As the South Korean military launched a “strong, concentrated” counterattack on the North’s coastal bases, a “considerable damage” might have been incurred on the North Korean side, the JCS said.

    The clash came as the South was carrying out a regular live-fire exercise in waters off Bangnyeong Island and the Yeonpyeong Island.

    The South Korean military was also conducting the annual nine-day Hoguk Exercise, which began Monday with an aim to enhance defense capabilities against the communist country.

    In the morning, the North sent a telephone message to the South, saying “The North would not just sit back if the South fired shots into the North Korean territorial waters,” according to JCS officials.

    At 3:48 p.m., the South Korean military sent a telephone message, urging the North to immediately stop its “provocative acts.”

    Some four hours after it began the firing, the North Korean military claimed through the state-run Koren Central News Agency that the firing was a “countermeasure” in response to the South’s military provocations.

    “South Korean puppets pushed ahead with its military provocations, firing rounds toward our waters despite our repeated warnings. Our revolutionary forces took stern military measures with instant, strong physical strikes in response to the puppets’ military provocations,” the North Korean military said.

    The South Korean military has imposed its highest-level alert for local provocations, called “jindogae hana,” and strengthened its readiness posture in all military branches.

    2. College entrance fever
    3. To Korean students, college entrance is one of the important things to do in their life. I also got so much stress to get into college. But it was not a important thing after I got into college. It was really hard work at that time. Lots of people can live successfully without famouse college diplomat. But many other people says good college is very important for someone's life. I think, our culture is going wrong side. I never heard students are hard to live bacause they didn't graduate good college in the U.S or Europe. I feel sorry that many studendt are having a hard time to get in good college.
    ----------------------------------------
    The annual college entrance fever has started with last week’s Scholastic Ability Test or “Suneung” across the country. Some 700,000 high-school seniors who took the test will be in an agonizing race to get into the “best” colleges their SAT scores allow.

    The usual scenes of Korea’s educational passion were repeated on the exam day. Public and private offices started work one hour late to help ease morning traffic congestion. Police patrol cars and fire engines were used to transport late examinees to their testing places. Churches and temples held day-long prayer sessions for the examinees.

    After the exam, the real estate market is heating up. The key money for “jeonse” renting is going up in areas where popular hagwon institutes are located, as parents look for new shelters for their children’s convenience after school. In some areas, key money has risen by tens of millions of won.

    These peculiarly Korean phenomena reflect the average Koreans’ obsession with college education. The rate of high-school graduates’ advancing to tertiary education has gone up to 82 percent last year both in male and female students and the competitions to enter more prestigious institutions grow ever tougher. Parents who have spent so much time, money and energy in building up their children’s “competitiveness” since their primary school years are now making one last effort to push them into the colleges of choice.

    The government has changed the entrance system in the direction of easing written tests. Individual universities are encouraged to use admission officers so that students exhibiting better potential for future development are to be admitted. The introduction of the staggered entrance system increased opportunities for application hence more chances of admission. While the new systems need time for both universities and students and parents to get used to it, the hagwon businesses have promptly developed programs to “conquer” the new system.

    They offer classes on “how to impress your admission officers” in addition to teaching how to write good essays. And then there are the difficulties of admission officers assessing applicants based on high school records. Applicants’ academic achievements are deliberately inflated by teachers who just want to have as many students from their school as possible enter reputed universities.

    Korean education certainly has structural problems, no matter what foreign admirers have to say. The first is the unbearable cost of extra teaching and the second is the high level of social tension from competition between young students. We have got to change this and save our children from rushing to nightly hagwon classes even on holidays, giving up many valuable aspects of their youth. Everybody knows what to do but they don’t start it by themselves.

    3. On these days, there are many computer games and many of them are very interesting. So if people who play computer games do not control themselves in playing games, they can be addict. But the important thing is when they are addicted then they cannot recognize what is reality and what is game. The addicted think that if people are dead, it's not serious problem because they revive after few second like a game. So there are many case of murders that youth did. It is serious problem. So government made addict clinics cure addict. But number of clinic are insufficient. So we must make many clinic and cure the addicted.

    5. A middle-school teen strangled his mother to death for forbidding him to play computer games and then committed suicide. A while ago, a game addict in his 20s killed his mother with a knife. Another compulsive game player in his 30s died after playing games nonstop for five days without a decent meal.
    A runaway couple was arrested five months after they allowed their three-month-old infant to starve to death while they played online games. The couple sometimes went on with game-playing for 12 hours and ignored their crying baby. When they finally pulled themselves away from playing, they fed her spoiled milk. The couple had met on the Internet. All these monstrous crimes took place this year.
    Internet or game addiction is not just a misguided indulgence or amusement. It can lead to grave social illnesses and problems. Recent medical studies discovered that Internet addiction can led to mental disorders and a lack of constraint, numbing physical senses as much as overdosing on drugs and alcohol. Teenagers are particularly vulnerable to external arousal and excited feelings resulting from violent Internet games.
    Addictions developed at a young age can lead to serious repercussions. Obsessive computer use can take a toll on the body and the mind, robbing it of valuable experiences and opportunities in social and character building and education. The development of a mature and confident member of society can be at risk.
    A recent survey showed about 1 million, or 14.3 percent of the country’s teen population, had symptoms of Internet addiction, more than double the 6.3 percent addiction rate among those in their 20s and 30s. What’s more worrisome is that those at risk are growing and becoming younger every year.

    2. Elementary school student bits up his teacher
    3. Some days before, I read the news that a teacher mess around with her student. It is very shocked. I think it means that the teacher is degenerated. But It is not only teacher’s moral matter but the destruction of school education. Students don’t have respect for their teacher. Maybe, lewd report of mass media may incite the loss of teacher's authority. I think for people, Mass schooling has important role. Because Most of Youth time have lived in school. So I’m very worried about this problem.
    4. -------------------------------------------------------------

    A student in his last year of elementary school was reported to have used violence against his homeroom teacher, and the case is currently under investigation of the local office of education.



    Following a previous case in which a female junior high school student allegedly grabbed hair and scuffled with her homeroom teacher, this time it’s an elementary school student striking his teacher.



    According to sources at the Chuncheon District Office of Ecucation in Gangwon Province, a sixth-grade female teacher at an elementary school in Chuncheon called the 13-year-old boy for bullying fellow students on Nov. 23. While she was giving warning, he reportedly struck her head for several times.



    The teacher, 29, is not physically hurt, but she is known to have been shocked with his unexpected reaction. Since she doesn’t want him to be penalized, the school is planning a special counseling program for the boy, the sources said.



    The education office and the school will schedule a further discussion after the teacher recovers, they said.

    2. drunken teenager boy hitted by train
    3. the boy who hitted by train isnt the point. we should focus on "drunken teenager boy" nowadays lots of teenagers are pretending an adult. even though other people can recognize they are teengers. im just curious how they could get drunk. i mean how could they buy or drink alcohol. i know its hard for teenagers to stand their curiosity to being like adult or do what adults can do, but i think not just government should check teenagers of korea but also i think parents should try to talk with them to share their problem which they couldnt solve theirselves. help them to can overcome their personal problem which they really needed helps.

    2.The Koreas’ weight problem

    3.we are interested in weight. many young woman try to lose one's weight. they doesn't eat meal, they not provide
    the nutrients that the body needs.
    by the contrast, many adolescents has become a provlem aboout obesity.
    they are accustomed to fast food and greasy foods, and have a irregular meals habit.
    that was result in diabetes and geriatric.
    To solve this problem, improve eating habits and regular eating habits'll show should have.
    But it is only matter of some areas of global
    in contrast becomes in other areas the children dying of hunger.
    On the one hand they
    get sick eating too much
    the other one to they get diying of the hunger.
    this siuation indeed ironic reality.

    -------------------------------------------------

    5.Big women are beautiful, at least in the North African country of Mauritania. A Mauritanian woman isn’t able to find a husband if she doesn’t have sufficient flesh around her belly. But for young Mauritanian girls, gaining enough weight to become beautiful is a painful task.
    In contrast, countries with an abundance of food consider obesity as a public enemy. The United States is one of the heaviest nations in the world and spends over 150 trillion won ($133 billion) on obesity-related treatments. To reduce the enormous cost of obesity, Michelle Obama launched the “Let’s Move” campaign in the spring, with the goal of reducing childhood obesity from 30 to 5 percent in the next 20 years.

    Korea also has reason to worry. According to a survey conducted by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, 13 percent of elementary, middle and high school students are obese. For the first time, the number of students with extreme obesity, those who weigh more than 1.5 times those with normal weight, has exceeded 1 percent of the total student population. The main culprit is the abundance of unhealthy, high-calorie foods consumed by the young such as hamburgers and instant noodles.

    2. Korean youths open to multiculturalism
    3. It's a good sign that Korean youths are open to multiculturalism. Since the number of international marriage is increasing rapidly, multiculturalism is inevitable in Korea. I think Korean youth's opened attitude towards multiculturalism will contribute to make a harmonic society.

    ---------------------------------
    Korean schoolchildren show a strong willingness to embrace multicultural families while they believe their country’s global status is low compared with youths in China, the U.S. and Japan, according to a survey released Monday by the government.

    In the survey, Korea scored the highest points of 71.3 for the question of whether youths welcomed immigrants in their country. In the same category, China ranked second with 69.8 while the U.S. and Japan scored 64.6 and 61.7, respectively.

    But Korea scored 62.4 for the question of what youths think of their country’s international status while the U.S. ranked first with 83.5, followed by Japan with 74.7 and China with 72.9.

    The Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs commissioned Dongseo Research Inc. to carry out the survey to reflect the results of its policy development. The pollster conducted the survey on 2,400 elementary, middle and high school students in the four countries from Sept. 1-Oct. 7.

    For the question of how much pride youths take in their country as citizens, Japan scored the lowest points of 55.3 while Korea ranked third with 62.9. China scored 84.2 while the U.S. scored 70.6.

    This outcome appears to reflect the growing economic and military clout China has enjoyed in recent years. As the survey involved four powerful countries, the scores for Korea and Japan appear “relatively low,” the ministry explained.

    Overall, Korean respondents showed a positive response to questions related to multiculturalism, reflecting their willingness to recognize immigrants as members of their country. Korea has recently seen a steady increase in international marriages.

    2. School violence dies hard

    3. These day Teachers and children's boundaries are disappearing. Many people are sympathetic and feel the severity of situation. To exploit this relationship should not be happening

    ---------------------------------------

    5. Schools remain anything but free from violence as more teachers and students get involved in fights despite the ban on corporal punishment within the classroom.

    Teacher beaten by student

    One middle school in western Incheon said Monday that a 13-year-old male student, identified by only his last name Kim, struck a female contract teacher in her 40s, identified by her surname Lee, with his fist several times during an after-school class on Nov. 10.

    The student was looking for a friend attending Lee’s class at the time. Kim opened a window to the classroom from the hallway and stuck his head inside to have a better look for his friend. The teacher ordered him to close the window and go away. But he did not budge. Lee then came out into the hallway and slapped Kim’s face.

    In response, Kim knocked Lee down by hitting her with his fist several times. Lee took a sick leave and has not returned to school since the incident.

    A school official said Kim was accidentally violent at the time, adding he now deeply regrets his wrongdoing.

    “He will receive psychological counseling at a state-run educational center until the winter vacation. Even though it was wrong of the teacher to slap the student, we have no plan to reprimand her because she gave him multiple warnings in advance and was physically hurt by the student.”

    2.Chewing tobacco causes cancer in Indian kids
    3.In india, kids chew tobacco. It means a lot to me When I read this article. Well, Obviously It is not a drug, but it seems bad to them. It causes cancer. They are already addicted to chew tobacco. Because It is something like a smoking as well. But Adult dont prohibit them chewing tobacco. It is really bad effect to kids. They should educate chewing tobacco is also one of smoking. And They also should educate them It causes bad to their health.

    --------------------------------

    Safiq Shaikh was 13 when he began chewing a blend of tobacco and spices that jolted him awake when his job at a textile loom got too dreary. Five years later, doctors in Mumbai lopped off his tongue to halt the cancer that was spreading through his mouth.

    Shaikh believed the fragrant, granular mixture he chewed, known in India as gutka, was a harmless stimulant and at first he ignored the milky lump growing inside his mouth. Now Shaikh is one of about 200,000 Indians diagnosed with a tobacco-related malignancy this year, says his surgeon, Pankaj Chaturvedi.

    India has the highest number of oral cancers in the world after a group of entrepreneurs known locally as “gutka barons” turned a 400-year-old tobacco product hand-rolled in betel leaves into a spicy blend sold for 2 cents on street corners from Bangalore to New Delhi. Sales of chewing tobacco, worth 210.3 billion rupees ($4.6 billion) in 2004, are on track to double by 2014, according to Datamonitor, a branch of the international research firm based in Hyderabad, India.

    “Now you have an industrial version of a traditional thing” spurring demand, said Chaturvedi, who works at Tata Memorial Hospital in Mumbai, Asia’s largest cancer treatment center, and draws cartoons to warn of tobacco’s dangers in his spare time. “By the time you are experimenting with this product, you become the slave of the industry.”

    India had almost 70,000 diagnosed cases of cancers of the mouth in 2008, the highest in the world ahead of the U.S. at 23,000 cases, according to statistics compiled by the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer.

    “I have seen many children who started chewing gutka when they were 8 or 10 years old and got cancer in their teens,” Chaturvedi said as patients with tubes protruding from their throats and swollen jaws awaited their turn outside his office.

    Gutka is sold at street stalls across India in bright rectangular pouches. Once opened, the powder emits a spicy smell. Inside the mouth, it has the consistency of gravel and creates a tingling sensation on the tongue. It’s the abrasion of the mouth’s lining that can accelerate the effect of nicotine and cancer-causing chemicals, according to Dhirendra Sinha, a technical officer for tobacco control at the WHO’s New Delhi office.

    Street vendors crowd around schools, breaking Indian law, which prohibits the sale of tobacco products within 100 yards of educational institutions, says Devika Chadha, a program director at the Salaam Bombay Foundation, a nonprofit organization that works with schools to educate children about tobacco’s dangers.
